Greetings Judy,
Thank you for your kind words.
I do it because I am at heart a farmer. A farmer works hard, even when
knowing that a hailstorm, floods, locusts or drought can destroy it all.
I do it because I know that we are shifting globally from the paradigm of
simplicity to the paradigm of complexity. We all will mentally have to
paint rich pictures. Hopefully only one fool is needed to articulate it.

A student many years ago asked me a honest question which required a
honest answer. How was Einstein able to create his theory of creativity? I
could not give an answer, despite with what I knew on physics, creativity
and learning. I felt so disgusted with myself.
If we want to be informed on the theory itself, we can look up the journal
in physics where it was published. If we want to learn how his mind
worked, we have to look in OTHER sources like his private correspondence.
Why. He worked in an academical environment which prescribed -- show your
mind but not your heart, show your experiment but not your experience,
show your strength but not your weakness. Very much like a man's world, is
it not ;-)?
Linking that what we learn privately with that which is informed
publically is most difficult. Wholeness require that we should do so.
Einstein was immensely sensitive to wholeness -- me too. I spare fellow
learners the trouble for making such linkings and get trouble for doing
so. But that is how wholeness works!
By the way, I enjoy your comments on the what the Hebrew exactly say in
the Torah (OT) very much. I am climbing the mountain of self learning
Koine Greek (NT), but I need another life for the Hebrew -- or two years
sabbatical leave which will never be given for such a purpose in a science
faculty ;-)
With care and best wishes
